Very nice! I love the aesthetics. The subtle horizontal grain texture makes everything look really cool, and the sound effects really add the the overall feel.
You did a very good job with the music, sounds, and graphics. It really made the already solid gameplay feel very pollished and satisfying! Fantastic work!
Won with 711 clicks and a time of 4:24. I was slightly stuck at the beginning while figuring things out, however, beyond that it was very fun and interesting. Great job.
solid gameplay idea, though I wish there was something trying to stop me/get in my way as, espcially with the last couple levels, I just button mashed my way through.
you're aesthetic was on point, wish there had be some sort of camera effect or variation in the blocks as they could of popped a bit more. Otherwise nice polish to the graphics which really blended well with the gamepaly
Overall a really astounding entry you have here! The graphics make my graphic designer inside me cry from the beauty, and the sound is superb. My only, ONLY suggestion is maybe start the timer after the player first clicks because I loaded up the game and before I had time to move the mouse in the proper window area, the timer was already ticking past 5 seconds... but then again, that's really more of personal problem I guess.
Nice short game, interesting concept. I finished it in 5:31 and 422 clicks. The graphics are very well done, with the particles and the shake effects adding to the experience. However I find it not very much challenging, in the sense that there is nothing that avoids you achieving the goal easily. Maybe you could add a restricting dynamic, like number of clicks or something else which makes it more competitive. Otherwise you could change the audio effects to more relaxing ones and this would be quite a zen-like game. Great work!
Really good production values here. Visuals & sound work really well and it feels like a polished game.
Mechnically the game is a bit bland and seems to mostly amount to clicking really fast. Still, very nice effort and with some more work on the mechanic it could be a great game :)
Very great entry I post my time later! at 4:12 I was in level 10/10. Had to leave the pc for now! Thank you for this graphics, sound gameplay, everything. It was very nice to play!
This game probably has the highest style to substance ratio of any game I've ever played. Awesome scanline filter and excellent screenshake and particles. Audio is flawless too. But there's no substance to the gameplay at all. Even if you're going for minimal time/clicks, it would basically just be an exercise in memorization. I want to feel more of your pixels and audio, but the gameplay is too lacking for me to want to replay it.
Pretty enjoyable game despite some intense lag at some points, but that might just be my internet. The mechanic could be a lot more explored with puzzles and new abilities. Clean graphics and great soundtrack.
I liked it! I enjoyed the sound effects, especially the one for the warps, it does really sound like what I think a warp would be.
I could nearly hear an announcer's voice challenging me to finish the levels as quickly as possible, that would make it even more compelling. Thought of a time attack mode?
This is a very nice entry! Tons of polish and tons of juice. There are some very interesting mechanics. I love the art style and the music is fantastic. It also controls very nicely!
I would say that the only thing it's really lacking is some sort of challenge other than trying to get the least amount of time and clicks. Some ideas to add some challenge: 1) Player only gets a certain number of warps per level. That could vary per level and give it kind of puzzle feel. 2) Put things in the game that when you hit them, you have to restart the level. Perhaps those could move and you have to dodge them or move carefully. 3) Each block gives you some points but getting more blocks with one charge builds up a combo multiplier which would allow you to get a better score.
Those are just some ideas that came to mind. Overall, this was a very good entry and extremely polished. Nice work!
You've got a firm grasp of game feel. Every action has a ton of feedback to it. Every item on the screen is arranged beautifully, nothing static everything moved and felt alive. The audio was great, I felt the force behind me when I smashed through a ton of blocks at once. Great job!
This is awesome! One of my favorite LD entries so far. Love the music, retro feel, and gameplay. Took me a minute to figure out the warp when I got stuck early on.
Wow this was a really great entry! Simple, easy to play and perfect sound effects. Very satisfying to take out lots of blocks at one time, sounds like a gun shot. Whats awesome about this entry is that it runs perfectly in Chrome, using just plain HTML5/JS! Great entry... can't believe this is a Compo entry!
Awesome job Jack, tis is a neat entry you have made that I think would work great in time trail type situations. I like the more narrow levels better than the larger ones (face) which I think plays better with the dashing and warping for speed.
Absolutely spot on. A game built around beating personal bests is a great way of getting replay value out of a short game like this, and it's damn fun which means I'm certainly going to be doing just that for quite a while. Kudos.

This entry was really cool. It was a lot of fun smashing through those blocks! It'd be nice if you could add more of a challenge to the game. Cool entry!
very solid entry! there needs to be more mechanics and variation. the graphics and audio are great. overall its just really satisfying! i got 2:51 with 265 clicks. did i get the high score?
That was great! The music is really motivating. I can totally see more game modes, with chains or enemies that move around and you have to avoid. Great entry.
Simple, neat little game! I included it in part 7 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/Cnio28O-EgI
Nice job with the visual and audiotive feedback on this! Felt good to blast away those squares. Would have been nice with some feedback on how good I was doing during the individual levels, for example "Aim to get under 50 clicks on this one...".
Very, very fun speed running game! The music and juice is incredible. My only complaint was that it was sometimes hard to find where you started, especially toward the end when the levels got very large. I managed to get a time of 2:29! http://puu.sh/hJg2H/6f4ab60340.jpg
This has a very satisfying whoosh when moving. Really interesting idea. I felt it needed an online high score table, but a solid entry even without. Good stuff.
Only need more level to become a market ready game ! Great job. Music, sound, graphics meet the concept perfectly and form a certain harmony. Congrats ! Ho, and fun too. Really fun !
Some more juiciness tweaks and this could be a fun mobile game!
I finished in 07:43 with 374 clicks!
